Well, the best advice would be, you know, if you feel that you have got an addictive personality- which I still argue that is non-existent- but if you still feel that you need to seek a certain amount of pleasure from things that your everyday life is not offering you, then seek a healthier thing.
Ever wondered why some people seem to get hooked on everything while others don't? This episode of 'Two Roads Travelled' dives into the concept of addictive personality disorder with Dr Mindy Bartlett, CEO of Essential Drug & Alcohol Services (EDAS). With over 20 years of experience in the addiction field, Dr Bartlett brings a wealth of knowledge to the table.
She explores the complex layers of addiction, brain chemistry, and the factors that influence why some people develop addictions and others don't. Spoiler alert: she doesn't believe in the so-called 'addictive personality disorder'. Instead, Dr Bartlett encourages us to look at addiction through a multi-dimensional lens, considering individual, familial, and societal influences. Whether you're struggling with addiction, know someone who is, or are just curious about the science behind it, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
Jo and Paula, as always, add their personal touch, making this heavy topic approachable and engaging. Tune in to challenge your perceptions and learn from an expert who’s seen it all.
